I take my craft very seriously.

If you put the right things out there the right things will happen.

Had I joined a straight rock band, I'm sure my drumming would be a little bit different right now.

I've always seen my drumming as lyrical anyway.

The thing I try to do the most is to play in terms of the song and play in terms of what I'm hearing.

You start to look at it with a deeper respect and I think that deeper respect for what you do builds more self-respect.

I think that the jazzy approach that I have is based on the way that I hear music and in the way I play a supporting role to the other people in the band.

I guess I get a little sentimental, but I'm so used to moving on and making myself stronger where that's concerned, otherwise I would just be a wreck!

I say, if you're going to eat a creature alive, you have to expect some screaming. That is the carnivore's burden.

Oh, I'd love to wear a rainbow everyday, And tell the world that everything's okay, But I'll try to carry off a little darkness on my back, Till things are brighter, I'm the Man in Black.

If someone met me on a game day, he wouldn't like me. The days in between, I'm the goodest guy you can find.

The human body is not an instrument to be used, but a realm of one's being to be experienced, explored, enriched and, thereby, educated.

The discovery of orgone energy was made through consistent, thorough study of energy functions, first in the realm of the psyche, and later in the realm of biological functioning.
